Whether it’s a heartfelt note before the first day at a new job or a declaration of love written in the clouds, people express their love and support for one another in big and small ways every day. This February, CaringBridge, the caring social network that keeps families and loved ones connected during any type of health event, invites people to submit those touching acts of compassion during the “Share Your Heart” contest.

“CaringBridge grew out of the need and desire to amplify the love, hope and compassion in the world,” said Sona Mehring, founder and CEO of CaringBridge. “We’re excited to offer the Share Your Heart contest to bring to life the great examples of our mission in action.”

It's easy to enter the “Share Your Heart” contest. Show a heartfelt moment by visiting heart.CaringBridge.org to upload a photo, video or a written description of up to 50 words.

Any act of caring big or small is welcome. It could be a video hug for a sweetie, a photo of flowers given to the neighbor, plastering someone’s room with cutout hearts or any other way to spread love in the world.

During the contest, visitors to heart.CaringBridge.org can vote on their favorite entry. People can also share their submissions with family and friends inviting them to vote. The entry with the most votes wins two iPad minis—helping the winner stay connected with their loved one online.

Additionally, everyone who shares their heart on heart.CaringBridge.org will be entered in a random drawing to win one of 10 gift certificates for Pear Tree Greetings, an online greeting card company that helps people celebrate life’s sharable moments.

The contest opens February 11. People can submit their acts of love and caring by March 1 and voting will be open through March 6.

People share their heart every day on CaringBridge.org, the nonprofit caring social network that helps amplify love, hope and compassion by providing a private place to share health journeys and receive support from loved ones.
